The aim of this project is the development and testing of a mobile energy self-sufficient microsystem,

• which can perform three functions simultaneously with a new layer sequence of quantum dots:

1. Display of measured values ​​and output of optical warning messages (display function),
2. Conversion of solar energy into electrical energy (energy harvesting),
3. Evaluation of the absorbed UV spectrum (recording of measured values),

• which efficiently converts and stores the power of the human hand into electrical energy with a new type of precision mechanical-electronic converter, so that sufficient energy can be provided at any time and in a short time to operate the entire system,
• which can measure and process other physical quantities (e.g. pressure) with the help of a suitable micro-electro-mechanical measuring system.

 
ADZ NAGANO will process the following subtasks for the work objectives of the joint project:

• Development of the system electronics, the pressure sensors and the energy management
• Energy conversion platform and the technological implementation of an adapted electro-mechanical system to provide and store energy to operate the entire electrical system
• Development of an energy management system, the central elements of which consist of electronics and an energy store
• Create a concept for an evaluation circuit and verify it with accompanying simulations, the main focus will be on an energy-efficient design
• Development and implementation of suitable algorithms that allow the applied pressure value to be calculated and made perceptible with minimal power consumption
